Sadiya was such a great help..making early breakfast so we could meet our transport, arranging porter, directions to shops and restaurants..always ready to assist. Unlike our other breakfasts, there was a little variety at Afram...that was nice. Her helper (didn't get name) was also cheerful and diligent.

I had an amazing experience. The place is brand new, clean, and equipped with all the facilities you could possibly need for a comfortable stay, from a well-equipped kitchen to cozy common areas perfect for relaxing or meeting other travelers. What truly made my stay unforgettable was the owner and the staff. They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful with everything, whether it was giving local tips, arranging activities, or just sharing a friendly conversation. Their hospitality really made me feel at home. I would definitely come back here on my next visit to Essaouira and highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a friendly, comfortable, and well-located place to stay.

Loved the location! Beautiful views from the rooftop, with great food. The beds were comfortable with nice warm blankets. They had a laundry service which was great after 4 weeks of backpacking!

The setup, relaxed atmosphere, and access to the kitchen. The views of the ocean were superb. You look down at the surf, licking the seemingly endless beach below. I hope to come back soon.

The hostel we brilliant, small and cozy so that you can socialize, everything was clean and comfortable. The views on the terrace was amazing and such a lovely place to hang out in the eveninging. Emad has to be the coolest owner of a hostel I've ever met, excellent recommendations for everything and so so helpful- even helped me learn to play chequers! Good vibes and good fun. I am sure you will like it here.

Highlight the personalized service the family's genuine care and attention to detail. The cozy, homely atmosphere makes us feel like part of the family. Many delicious home-cooked meals and the family's local knowledge about sidi kaouki and surfing , which enhances the overall experience.

All hostels in Essaouira

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

The staff were amazing, and so was the vibe. Great location inside the medina. It's not perfect, but it's definitely worth it and more for the cheap price we paid!!! I would stay here again if I travel on a budget.

All the staff is very friendly, the rooftop terrace is perfect for chilling, socializing and seeing the sunset, and the food served there at the bar is tasty. Even though it's a cheap hostel it keeps the minimum standards and since each floor can only be accessed by the people staying on it (they have security codes to enter the floor and room) the cleanness level doesn't get affected so much during the day. A very good budget friendly stay.
